Since relocating to Tampa, the artist's jewelry has taken on the colors of the Gulf of Mexico. This Clearwater Epoxy Resin cuff bracelet is made by combining 3 opaque custom colors blended in a range of blues and greens reminiscent of the beauty of the waters at Clearwater Beach in Florida. You are buying this exact bracelet. To fully appreciate this jewelry one must feel the texture of the smooth surface. The bracelet is hand sanded for 2 - 3 hours so that the resin has the feel of fine silk. Ships in 2 business days.

The resin is cast against a band of fine silver. Casting directly against the fine silver band with the resin extending beyond the silver serves 2 purposes. First it virtually eliminates the possibility of oxidation under the resin and secondly, the extended resin serves as a way to strengthen the bond of resin to silver.

The fine silver is 18g but given the relative weightlessness of resin, it is extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. I use .999 silver because it does not contain significant amounts of nickel or copper – two of the most popular skin irritants in jewelry. While all silver will eventually tarnish, sterling silver tarnishes quicker because it commonly contains 7.5% copper while .999 fine silver contains less than .1% copper. Copper is one of the primary causes of tarnish. If it begins to tarnish dip the entire bangle in a silver cleaning solution for no more than 20 seconds. Rinse with mild soap and warm water. Quickly dry and apply lotion to the resin to regain its sheen. I always use lavender scented lotion so that my preferred scent is on the bangle as well as worn on my person.

All resin jewelry is made from RBC Epoxy Resin. RBC has long been the world's leading epoxy manufacturer when it comes to decorative epoxies. Their custom color matching ability is second to none and their seasonal palette of colors is consistently at the forefront of predicting future fashions and illustrating current trends. This has made RBC far and away the definitive source of color coatings for jewelry applications.

The bracelet is not adjustable so please make sure this bracelet is a good fit by comparing these measurements to a bracelet that you currently have in your possession.
